Applications Open for Giltrap Motorsport Junior Scholarship

Giltrap Group have always believed New Zealand produces some of the world’s greatest motorsport talent. Every weekend, somewhere around the world, you will find one of our drivers or race technicians chasing victory. There’s also a pretty good chance you’ll spot the famous Giltrap Group logo as well; because nobody is more passionate about helping Kiwis fly on the world stage

This is why Giltrap Group are offering a career-defining opportunity for a young New Zealand driver to join their exclusive club of world beaters as an official Giltrap Group driver onboard the all-new McLaren Artura GT4 in the 2024-25 GT NZ Championship.

In 2023, Brock Gilchrist was the first winner of the ‘dream seat.’ He won on debut and claimed the GT4 Championship in a McLaren 570GT4. This season he’s racing in the Australian Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge, where he recently claimed his maiden victory.

“It’s an amazing opportunity to drive a proper race car for a professional team,” said Gilchrist.

“I learned so much, and without it, I would not be winning now.”

The Giltrap Motorsport Junior Scholarship is not just about winning races, it’s about learning and growing as a driver. So along with race craft, the winner will be given training in data, media management and sponsorship.

The successful driver will be supported by a professional race team, who will be assisted by rookie race engineers, as part of Giltrap Group’s goal of creating winners on and off the track.
